You'll notice in the video that once the new template is installed, the site name appears at the top of each page to the left of the stock photo. Of course, "Example Joomla Site" doesn't look terribly professional, so we would want to go ahead and change the site name. This can be done by mousing over "Site" then choosing "Global Configuration" and entering the new name for the site. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like afterwards.
At the end of the video, I bring up the point that it's possible for your modules to disappear when you activate a new template. If they do, it simply means that your new template has different names for module positions than your old template and that the missing modules are currently set to a position that doesn't exist in your new template. To fix this, just go to Module Manager, and open up the module(s) in question, and try setting them to different module positions until they reappear where you want them.
Lesson 4: Using Templates to Customize Your Site
This is where the fun really begins...
Joomla's template system gives you a flexibility that is hard to compete with. It allows you to:
Quickly and easily try out as many different styles as you'd like while designing your site. (There are literally thousands of free templates to choose from. Just try doing a search for "free Joomla templates" and you'll see what we mean.)
Change the look and feel of every single page on your site in no more than a couple minutes.
To give you an idea of how templates work, the following are screenshots of an example site with different templates applied to it. In other words, it's the exact same content in each picture, just a different template.
